The ELBO of Variational Autoencoders Converges to a Sum of Three Entropies

Simon Damm, Dennis Forster, Dmytro Velychko +3

The central objective function of a variational autoencoder (VAE) is its variational lower bound (the ELBO). Here we show that for standard (i.e., Gaussian) VAEs the ELBO converges…
